16 Years in the Making: Wildwood

LAIKA released the most highly anticipated piece of stop-motion animation since “Kubo and the Two Strings” Oct. 23, entitled “Wildwood.” With a runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes, it’s the longest stop-motion animation film to date. The theatrical experience of watching a stop-motion film is special as it’s not humans on screen, but handcrafted, classic “Claymation” characters.

Pawsitively Saved Rescue Searches for New Location as Year-End Move Looms

NEWBERG, Ore. — Walking into Pawsitively Saved Rescue is a little quieter these days. Not necessarily because there is a shortage of adoptable animals in the area. The rescue, which previously housed 40 dogs, is down to five at the facility and is not taking in new dogs at the moment because it does not know where it will be in the near future.

BUTCH’S BLOG – MOVIE REVIEW: “Wildwood”—an amazing film

I’m not normally a fan of animated films, and so was somewhat hesitant to go with my wife to see the new animated movie, “Wildwood”, that was playing at our cute little local movie theater. As usually happens, I was glad I followed Beverly’s lead. Even though the film was long, and I was squirming in my seat at times — more about a sketchy back than a loss of interest in what we were experiencing — I never checked out of the thoroughly immersive experience.

Two Seattle screenings of Portland-filmed feature ‘A Simple Machine’ already sold out

Filmed in Portland, A Simple Machine is a feature film about a young man struggling under debt who “makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend that he’s going to fix up an old bike and go off the grid,” according to the film’s synopsis. The trailer looks great, with a grainy black-and-white style and intriguing dialog. “This is not just a ‘bike film,’” the promotional team said in an email to Seattle Bike Blog about the upcoming screening. “It’s a film where the bike is the philosophy.”
